fuckin finals

so i decided to not work on a take home final until now (it's due in the morning)

3 pages down and 3/7 questions answered and the other 4 are analyzing some academic articles i never read

so yeah fuck me

 

You can do it I believe in you. Anything mathy/sciency that I could help with?

 

I'm in the same boat. I have this final English paper that's due tomorrow in the morning that I'm no where near done with but I also have a final in a subject that I'm very close to failing at 11am. I need to get a 60 in it to pass, but it's very possible for that to not happen.

Edit: Hopefully I'll be able to finish the paper by 2:30, then I'll wake up at 8:30, do all the corrections my brother will send me for my essay by 9, and then study for the last two hours. My brain will be mush after the four and a half hour exam though.

 

Well graci for the support, I'll get it done it's just going to be an enormous pain in the ass

Na, thanks though, it's all Poli Sci and analyzing some arguments for/against elitist and whether the principle of adequate education is fair and such.

You may need a drink after all that and hell probably before lols

I got faith in you mane, you'll get a 60 and who knows maybe they'll curve it. Goodluck brah

 

Good luck man, we just finished our finals back in Australia a few weeks ago. The finals period is fucked, but just wait until you finish it's the best feeling ever

 

Yeah you're on your own. I'm done my week of hell. I just have inorganic chemistry left on Wednesday then I'm on holidays.

 

OP

 

Noice man, yeah well thing is I've been done with every class but this take home so I've been acting like I've been done lols.

Gota love 'em. Ah goodluck man.

Questions to help you study (NOT the exact questions for the exam):

How did the federal government expand its power from 1865 to the present? What were some of the major events that prompted this expansion?

1933-1937 New deal = fix economy

-wagner act - organize as unions, bargain for better pay and conditions, strike
-section 7a - fair competition, guaranteed trade union rights, regulated working standards, regulated price of certain products
-Works Progress Administration (ccc) - employed hella people to work by doing improving public infrastructure, roads, parks, etc. by doing this, many people had employed, and stimulated the economy.
-Agriculture Adjustment Act - paid farmers to NOT plant, or to kill off excess livestock. raised prices of crops/livestock
-social security act - helped unemployed and elderly. government was reaching out to other generations (not just current one). New Deal act that is still going on. Paid retired people by imposing a regressive tax on working people. regressive tax = same tax for everybody, not a %
-japanese internment = expanding power over racial issues + pearl harbor + distrust of japanese?
-progressive era -> 16th amendment which imposed taxes on high income
-if you’re not for america you’re against it-little rock-big federal power move


One of the most important trends in post-World War II America has been the decline of citizens’ trust in the federal government. Why did this decline occur?
credibility gap -> gulf of tonkin based on a lie - a lot of what was going on in vietnam was exaggerated to get approval
public found out that the government was doing illegal things
Nixon & watergate

Why do historians sometimes refer to the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s as the “second Reconstruction”?

brah it's a 5 paragraph essay, knock that shit out

I'm on my 6th page of evaluating the justice/lack of justice on the principle of educational adequacy (alongside school vouchers/general education stoof), but I'm nearly done though so fucking hype

 

how I'd personally approach the essay specified, is to talk mainly about the majority 'hard power' system in place within US foreign policy at the time, with the idea of containment over use of threat. How this was achieved successfully, and how you can shove it up your butt fagg0t
